Just get one.

I have Retropie project (http://blog.petrockblock.com/retropie/) running to play old snes and nes games on mine. You can do lots more besides that. Get a decent case for a few more $.

So what would it take, cost, to run some raspberry pi system to play SD video to a sd tv.
I was thinking of buying another used nintendo wii to play old tv shows on an old sd tv. It worked fin on a test, but the media player wasn;t the best.

Would a pi be a better option?





Raspberry Pi ~40$
composite cable 0-5$
headphone jack to composite sound (easy to make)0-5$

That doesn't include the power supply ~5$ or the sd card and that depends on if you want to use that to store video or use a server or an external hard drive




Okay.. i am going to have to check some different options then.

This pi sounds like a good idea to look into.

I had forgot about the pi and looked at other option that where $200 plus, mainlny the mini itx syetems.

I say snag one man. They pretty cool. I got 2 of them. I made one a Media Box that connects to a shared drive on my network and streams videos/music. The other I was originally planning on making a Pipboy 3000 but part way through designing the software for the interface  I got a little overburdened at work and since them have snagged some other toys that have been keeping me from going back to it. I'll probably end up using it for something else entirely, Lol.

As far as what additional accessories you need: really a power cable, usb keyboard and mouse (you can snag cheap ones from amazon/newegg) and an SD card to get started. There are a lot of cool extras but you can always get those later. I would also look around and see what other people are doing to get ideas.

Also don't expect a lightening fast machine, its pretty basic, but for 35 bucks definately worth it.

What are your goals? Do you want to learn to program? Or do you just want something to toy with?

:goodluck:

I sent away for a couple of these and got them this week. A friend's kid is interested in learning programming and I got one for myself as well for the hell of it. They are the most basic models available (model A+), $25 and no ethernet or composite video. Apparently the power consumption is lower than the better models though.


Maybe I'll get a better one later, composite gives some cheaper options for mobile displays. I found one site that has a head mounted display built into some sunglasses for about $100.
